Which outcome occurs when a mid-latitude gyre intensifies?

💡 Explanation

Intensified gyre circulation enhances Ekman transport away from the coast, because wind stress increases leading to increased offshore surface water flow, and therefore there is increased upwelling. Reduced sea surface temperatures occur rather than stratification.
